.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / February 2006VS.NET 2005 AddIn Setup
Hello, All the articles i've read say to install the Addin (VS 2005) to the add in's folder along side the .addin xml file. This seems messy to me as I have a bunch of satelite assmeblies that also get installed. Is this the general practice for add ins or is there another way people are doing it such as modifying the .addin xml file on install. Thanks for your help, Joe Hi Joe, I don´t know what docs have you read but in VS 2005: - You can use the old registry registration or the new XML registration. - If you use the XML registration, you install the add-in in its own folder (wherever you want) and you put the XML file in any of the folders listed in the window Tools, Options, Environment, AddIns/Macros security. - The XML file has an <Assembly> tag that sets the full path to the assembly.

The problem is that the user decides where to install the assemebly when the install is running so setting the assemebly tag before install doesn't help, is my best course of action to create a custom action in the MSI that will modify the XML registration file when the user is installing?
